How does the ocean influence climate?

Physics
1 answer:
Mazyrski [523]3 years ago
4 0
<span>Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.</span>

1. A 9000 kg van was stopped at a traffic light when it rear-ended with an 850 compact car moving to the east at a velocity of 5
____ [38]

Answer:

1.785 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum can be calculated using the expression below

M1 *V1 + M2 * V2 = (M1+M2) V3

M1= mass of van=9000 kg

M2= mass of car= 850kg

V3= velocity of entangled car

V1= Velocity of the van= 0

V2= velocity of the car= 5 m/ s

Substitute the values

(900×0) + (500×5)=( 900+500)× V3

2500=1400 V3

V3=2500/1400

V3= 1.785 m/s

Hence, velocity of the entangled cars after collision is 1.785 m/s

Which of the following devices is associated with the reception of radio signals?
ki77a [65]
What are the "following" devices ? ?
I think they're a list of choices that you have but aren't sharing.

A few devices associated with the reception of various types of
radio signals include the resonant tank, the local oscillator, the
mixer, the detector, the coherer, the discriminator, the parabolic
reflector, the lecher wires, the audio transducer, the demultiplexer,
and ... my personal guess ... the 'antenna' or 'aerial'.

vichka [17]
Traveling against currents usually takes longer. Kinda like walking against the wind, you feel the heaviness against your jacket as you push through it. Where when you walking with the wind, it kind of gives your a push. Same for with currents.

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is  v  =  350 \  m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance of separation is  d =  4.00 m  

  The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is  I =  5.00 m

  The change in the distance of the speaker is by k  =  60 cm  =  0.6 \  m

    The frequency of both speakers is f =  700 \  Hz

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

       L_1  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}

       L_1  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}

        L_1  =   5.39 \  m

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is  

          L_2  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}

       L_2  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}

        L_2  =   5.64  \  m  

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

        pD  = L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \lambda}{2}

Here \lambda is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

         \lambda =  \frac{v}{f}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \frac{v}{f}}{2}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

Here n is the order of the maxima with  value of  n =  1  this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=>    5.64 - 5.39   =  \frac{1  *  v}{2*700}      

=>    v  =  350 \  m/s

A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).
